Dragonflow is an open source distributed control plane implementation of Neutron which is an integral part of OpenStack.
Dragonflow introduces innovative solutions and features to implement networking and distributed network services in a manner that is both lightweight and simple to extend, yet targeted towards performance-intensive and latency-sensitive applications.
Dragonflow aims at solving the performance and scale problems in Neutron leveraging lessons Learned from running OpenStack at scale and doing it the SDN way.
We will cover the following topics:
- Dragonflow introduction and progress
- Pluggable topology and policy distribution model
- Supported distributed networking services (DHCP, Routing and more)
- Innovative and interesting solutions for some hot networking topics: Security groups, Container networking, Service chaining & topology injection, Integration with smart NICs for h/w offloading
They attendees should get familiar with Dragonflow and hear a complete Introduction to the project.
They should understand the ways Dragonflow is trying to solve the use cases mentioned above.
Information regarding Dragonflow deployments will be shared in addition to complete roadmap plan for future features we plan for the project.
